Tucker Carlson: during the 12-day war with Iran, Israeli officers were present at the Pentagon

On his Thursday program, where he hosted Jeffrey Sachs, an American economist and Columbia University professor, Carlson criticized the influence of Zionists within the U.S. government and noted that any criticism of this influence is often labeled as anti-Semitic. He specifically referred to the presence of Israeli officers at the Pentagon, stating:

"For example, as happened with Iran during the 12-day war, the U.S. and Israel bombed Iran from all sides during that short conflict. Israeli military officers were present at the Pentagon, alongside foreign military officers. Moreover, they are not the only foreign military officers at the Pentagon—NATO officers are also present."

He continued: "These officers come from other countries, for example the U.K., but at that time, several Israeli military officers were stationed at the Pentagon. Ask anyone who worked at the Pentagon during that period—they were angered by officers barging into meetings, giving orders, making demands, and no one doing anything about it."

Carlson then questioned how a foreign military officer, even if invited, could boldly enter military headquarters, walk into a meeting, and start demanding: ‘We want this, we want that, you must deal with it.’ How is that possible?"

He emphasized: "The more you allow this deeply unhealthy behavior to continue, the deeper you get trapped."

The American analyst added: "And that is exactly what has happened. Because of the weakness of our leaders, we have provoked a foreign power’s exploiters to take advantage of us."

He stressed: "It is a demand that those whose job is to defend and represent us—our leaders, whether at the Pentagon or across the U.S. government—must act. They must stand against all potential threats, from all countries and foreign forces, as necessary, and defend us without bowing to a foreign power."

Carlson further said: "It’s very simple. Why should any government—especially a strong one—take orders from a weaker foreign force? Yet this has been the situation for a long time."

Jeffrey Sachs also noted on the program that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been trying to drag the United States into war with Iran—a plan he has pursued for nearly 30 years.

Sachs emphasized that Netanyahu recently involved Washington in a conflict with Iran and intends to do so again.

The Columbia University professor described the situation as “extremely dangerous” and stated that it is part of Netanyahu’s policy to entangle the United States in ongoing wars.
